Leadership Opportunities

Maryland Hillel seeks to engage, strengthen, and empower Jewish student leaders through a variety of year-long fellowships, committee roles for large-scale programs, and training opportunities. Students partake in ongoing leadership workshops in particular topic areas, engage their peers, and gain program-planning experience. From welcoming new students to leading our marquee programs and joining a fellowship to getting involved with a student group, there are countless leadership opportunities.

Apply now for a leadership opportunity for the 2017-18 school year. Applications for fellowships, committee chairs, and ambassador positions are due now.

Ambassadors

Working closely with a Maryland Hillel staff member, co-chairs will work on a dedicated program for 2–4 months.

Fellows will be expected to commit several hours a week towards their initiatives and should be prepared to see this as a part-time internship throughout the school year.

Maryland Hillel Fellows will meet weekly on Wednesday nights from 7:00–8:30 PM. To participate in a fellowship, you must commit to being available at this time during the Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 semesters.

Alternative Break Fellows

Plan, recruit for, and lead a service-learning trip during winter or spring break.

You’ll get a chance to select a group, work with non-profit partners, and facilitate meaningful discussions.

Networking & Engagement Fellows
